4-2 Basic Operation
Weighing
1. Press MODE key, and then select the appropriates units pan
Remove the
sample
Note
□ Press the SAMPLE key to turn on or off the digit for the
readability.
□ The weighing data can be stored in memory. For details, refer
to “11. Data Memory”.
□ When the ON:OFF key is pressed with a container placed
on the weighing pan and weighing is started, the balance
automatically cancels the weight (tare) and displays 0.00 g .
23
About the operation at when power is turned on
The balance will determine the reference zero point when the ON:OFF key is pressed to enter the
weighing mode.
Depending on the load condition at that time, it will automatically judge whether to perform zero or tare
operation. The condition for determining which is used is "power on zero range", and when power on
zero range is exceeded, the tare subtraction operation is performed.
24
4-3 Counting Mode(PCS)
This is the mode to determine the number of objects in a sample based on the standard sample unit
mass. Unit mass means the mass of one sample. The smaller the variables in each sample unit mass
is, the more accurate the counting will be. This series balance is equipped with the Automatic
Counting Accuracy Improvement (ACAI) function to improve the counting accuracy.
Note
* For counting, use samples that have a unit mass at least ten times greater than that of the
readability in grams.
* If the sample unit mass variable is too large, it may cause a counting error.
* To improve the counting performance, use the ACAI function frequently or divide the samples into
several groups and count each group.
Selecting the counting mode
1. Press the MODE key to select PC5 ( PC5 = unit)
* If the balance judges that the mass of the samples is too light
and is not adequate to be used as the unit mass, it displays (The counting result)
Lo .
* Registered unit mass is remembered even when the power is turned off.
Number mode(counting)
7. Counting is possible.
25
Counting Mode Using The ACAI Function
The ACAI is a function that improves the accuracy of the unit mass automatically by increasing the
number of samples as the counting process.
ACAI: Automatic Counting Accuracy Improvement
After registering unit mass of "6", proceed to the following "8". Processing mark
8. If a few more samples are added, the processing indicator turns on. To
prevent an error, add three or more. The processing indicator does not
turn on if overloaded. Try to add the same number of samples as
displayed.
9. The balance re-calculates the unit mass while the processing indicator is blinking. Do not touch
the balance or samples on the pan until the processing indicator turns off.
10. Counting accuracy is improved when the processing indicator turns off.
Each time the above operation is performed, a more accurate unit mass will be obtained. There
is no definite upper limit of ACAI range for the number of samples exceeding 100. Try to add the
same number of samples as displayed.
11. Remove all the samples used in ACAI and proceed with the counting operation using the
improved unit mass.
Note ACAI will not function on the unit mass entered using the keys, or digital input mode.
Caution
* ACAI cannot be used for the read unit mass.
26
4-4 Percent Mode (%)
The percent mode displays the weighting value in percentage compared to a 100% reference mass and
is used for target weighing or checking the sample variance.
By lowering the impact level at the time of loading, it is possible not only to alleviate variation in the
weighing value but also to reduce the risk of failure of the mass sensor section.
Especially when incorporating the balance in a production line, etc. and weighing by means such as
an automated system, impact to the sensor may be applied greater than expected.
When designing automatic systems and the like, it is recommended that you minimize the impact
level as much as possible while checking the shock indicator.

With balance software version 1.300 or later, you can turn off the impact detection function by setting
/ of the function settings to 0.
Even if the impact detection function is turned off, it records in the balance when there is a shock.
Note
□ Impact on the weighing sensor may be applied to the weighing pan at time of loading, or it may be
applied from the table on which the balance is installed.
The impact detection function also works for impact applied from the table.
28
5-1 Recording Impact History
Impacts of impact level 3 or higher are stored on the balance with data and time included (maximum
50 data instances).
When the password lock function is on ( or 2 ), the login user information is added when
outputting the impact history. (Balance software version 1.211 or later.)
Note
□ If 50 data instances is exceeded, the data with the lowest impact level is overwritten.
□ The stored impact history cannot be deleted.
□ Impact data where the balance is not energized (during transport, etc.) is not stored.
Note
□ The impact history format differs according to the software version of the balance.
Output by command
The stored impact data will be output all at once by sending a ?SA command to the balance.

7. Calibration
Since the balance's resolution is high, weighing values may change due to gravity and daily
environmental changes. It is necessary to perform calibration (sensitivity adjustment) with the weight in
order to keep the weighing values from changing even if gravity or the environment changes.
It is recommended that you calibrate if the balance is installed for the first time or relocated, or when the
weighing values change significantly in daily inspection, etc.
Adjustment means to adjust the weighing value of the balance using the reference weight or internal
mass. Calibration is to weigh with the reference weight and compare how much the result deviates from
the reference value. (Adjustment is not performed in calibration.)

Display
This indicator means calibration data (sensitivity adjustment and
sensitivity calibration) is being imported.
Do not allow vibration or drafts to affect the balance while the indicator is
displayed.
36
Caution
If something is on the weighing pan, the balance judges that it is in use and does not perform automatic
self calibration.
The criteria that the balance judges in use are as follows.
This mark blinking ( ) indicates that the automatic self calibration will
start. If the balance is not in use, after blinking for a while, the balance will
start automatic self calibration using the internal mass. The blinking duration
depends on the environment.
This indicates that the balance is importing calibration data. Do not allow
vibration or drafts to affect the balance while this indicator is displayed. After
calibration, the balance returns to indicate the previous display.
Note The balance can be used while the indicator blinks. But, it is recommended that to
maintain the accuracy, stop using the balance and confirm that there is nothing on the pan
and allow the balance to perform self calibration.
Depending on the setting of "8. Function Switch And Initialization", "Change prohibited" or
"Changeable (usable)" can be selected.

The minimum weighing value is the minimum necessary amount of sample to be used for correctly
performing quantitatively performing quantitative analysis, taking into consideration measurement error
of the balance.
If the amount of sample is too small, the proportion of the measurement error in the measured value
increases accordingly, and the reliability of the analysis result may drop.
By using the minimum weighing warning function, it is possible to judge at a glance whether the amount
of sample meets the set minimum weight value. This function can be used only in "g" mode.
" M I N " is displayed at the top of the unit part when in use when the amount of sample is less than the
set minimum weighing value, the " M I N " indication flashes.
When the amount of sample reaches the minimum weighing value or more, the " M I N " indicator will
turn off.
The minimum weighing value can be changed from the function setting. The factory setting is 0 g.
If the set value is 0 g, no warning will be displayed even if the minimum weighing warning function is
ON (MW-CP 1 or 2). Also, a value greater than weighing capacity cannot be set as minimum weighing
value.
There are two kinds of warning display as follows

20.Repeatability Check Function (GX-AE/GX-A Series Only)
Repeatability is an indicator of variations in measured values when the same weight is repeatedly
loaded and unloaded, and it is usually expressed in terms of standard deviation (σn-1).
The GX-AE/GX-A series have a built-in weight.
With the repeatability check function, the balance obtains 10 measurement data using the built-in
weight and displays its standard deviation.
By installing the balance and using this function, it is possible to check repeatability in the environment
where the balance is installed.
This function is available from balance software version 1.211 or later.
Ex. "Standard deviation = 10.0 mg" means that the result of repeated measurements of the same
weighing material falls within the range ±10.0 mg at a frequency of about 68%.
(standard deviation).

□ The result of this function differs from the repeatability
conditions of "26. Specifications" because it uses the 5D 10.0
weight of the balance (about 190g), so treat it as a Output
reference value. CANCEL
□ This function cannot be used with GX-124A and
GX-124AE. 5D 10.0
□ In order to measure correct data, do not apply wind or
vibration while collecting data.
□ While using the password lock function, it can be used

22.Maintenance
22-1 Treatment Of The Balance
□ Clean the balance with a lint free cloth that is moistened with warm water and a mild detergent.
□ Do not use organic solvents to clean the balance.
□ Do not disassemble the balance.
□ Use the original packing material for transportation.
23.Troubleshooting
23-1 Checking The Balance Performance And Environment
The balance is a precision instrument. When the operating environment or the operating method is
inadequate, correct weighing can not be performed. Place a sample on the pan and remove it, and repeat
this several times. If the balance seems to have a problem with repeatability or to perform improperly, check
as described below. If improper performance persists after checking, contact the local A&D dealer for
repair.
"Frequently asked questions" and their answers are also posted on our website
<https://www.aandd.jp>.
Operating environment
□ Is the weighing table solid enough? (Especially 0.0001g and 0.001g model)
□ Is the balance level? Refer to "2-2 Precaution" How to adjust the bubble spirit level.
□ Is the operating environment free from vibration and drafts?
□ Is there a strong electrical or magnetic noise source such as a motor near the balance?
126
Weighing method
□ Does the weighing pan rim touch anything? Is the weighing pan assembly installed correctly?
□ Is the RE-ZERO key pressed before placing a sample on the weighing pan?
□ Is the sample placed in the center of the weighing pan?
□ Has the balance been calibrated using the internal mass (one-touch calibration)? (Only for
GX-AE/GX-A series)
□ Has the balance been warmed up for one hour before weighing?
Sample and container
□ Has the sample absorbed or lost moisture due to the ambient conditions such as temperature and
humidity?
□ Has the temperature of the container been allowed to equalize to the ambient temperature? Refer
to "2-3 During Use".
Is the sample charged with static electricity? Refer to "2-3 During Use".
(This occurs especially with 0.0001g and 0.001g models when the relative humidity is low.)
□ Is the sample of magnetic material such as iron? There are cautions about weighing magnetic
materials. Refer to "2-3 During Use".

23-2 Error Codes
Display Error code Description
Overload error
A sample beyond the balance weighing capacity has been
placed on the pan. Remove the sample from the pan.
Weighing pan Error
The mass value is too light.
Confirm that the weighing pan is properly installed and calibrate
the balance.
128
Display Error code Description
Sample mass error
The balance can not store the sample for the counting mode or
for the percent mode because it is too light.
Use a larger sample.
Unit mass error
The sample unit mass for the counting mode is too light. Storing
and using it for counting will cause a counting error.
Add samples to reach the specified number and press
the ..PRINT key. Pressing the PRINT key without
adding samples will shift the balance to the counting mode.
But, for accurate counting, be sure to add samples.
Full memory
The stored calibration and calibration test history has
Alternate (Blink) reached 50 instances. If more is stored, the old history will be
deleted. Refer to "11 Data Memory"
130
23-3 Other Display
When this indicator ( ) blinks, automatic self calibration is waiting. If the
balance is not used for several minutes with this indicator blinking, the
balance automatically performs calibration using the internal mass. The
blinking period depends on the operating environment.
Advice The balance can be used when this indicator is blinking, but we recommend that
you perform calibration before weighing.
